Jerry Jones is still feeling the heat from the 1957 photo that surfaced placing him in a crowd allegedly protesting desegregation. Sixty-five years later, Adam "Pacman" Jones is known for being loud on the field, but the former defensive star brought up the intensity when asked about the photo.
Put simply, he rejected the idea of any negative ill-will against the owner of the Cowboys. Here's how he put it when asked about it by HOT 107.9 on Instagram:
"I don't give a damn what he did back in 1957. '57! Can you even count back that far? Man, I don't need to hear that s---. Jerry Jones, I love you! F--- them. I don't give a f--- what they say. I'm a Cowboy. I got 'Jerry' tatted on my body."

He continued, proclaiming that the Cowboys owner has done more positive things than anyone:
"I'm forever [rooting for him]... I don't know what they're talking about. I've seen [him] do more s--- for black athletes than anybody in the world."
What is Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doing in 2022?
Sixty-five years after the photo was taken, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys is enjoying a year near the top of the NFC as one of the hottest teams in the league. After an early chapter without Dak Prescott, the team is rounding into full speed as the season hits a new gear for those still in the playoff hunt.
Most recently, the team broke the Indianapolis Colts after a tight three-quarter skirmish. After three quarters, the Cowboys came out ahead with a two-point win. When the game was over, they had a 35-point lead. Things appear to only get easier for the team next week as they face another team located in Texas in the 1-10-1 Houston Texans.
